ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 11, 2025
Nash Sinclair abandoned the world of formula racing after a deadly crash left him injured and on a long road to recovery, both physically and mentally. Even prior to the crash Nash was healing in another way, putting together the pieces of a broken heart. They say time heals all wounds and when Brienne Norcross, owner of the newly acquired Titans Racing team approaches him about a job, he decides it might just be time to reclaim the life he once loved.
Bexley Toliver just joined the Titans’ team as their chief race strategy engineer. As a woman working in a male-centric sport, Bex is no stranger to a man’s eyes on her. Whether it’s in silent awe, not-so-silent disgust, or somewhere in between, Bexley has earned her way. But there is one set of eyes that Bex hasn’t seen in years and when Nash Sinclair walks into the conference room for a team meeting, old memories are hard to ignore. As the heat between them becomes all-consuming, they are unable to resist the temptation to fall once again.
Bex and Nash’s history is…complicated. Young love that turned into the promise of forever crashed and burned long before the race that ended Nash’s career. Years apart dulled the pain of their failed union but some things aren’t meant to be forgotten, no matter how hard one tries. When the same issues that broke them apart re-emerge and spin them full-speed toward a barricade, Bex and Nash need to make a decision—hit the brakes and walk away or race forward to their happily ever after.

REVIEW: FORMULA CHANCE is the second instalment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult RACE FEVER erotic, romance series focusing on Formula International (F1), a fictionalized version of motorsport racing. This is driver Nash Sinclair, and chief strategy engineer Bexley Toliver’s story line. FORMULA CHANCE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
NOTE: For fans of Sawyer Bennett, there is a slight cross-over with the author’s Pittsburgh Titan’s series and team owner Brienne Norcross.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Nash and Bexley) FORMULA CHANCE follows the second chance relationship between former F1 driver Nash Sinclair, and chief strategy engineer Bexley Toliver. Three years earlier, Nash Sinclair and Bexley Toliver were engaged to be married but each of their careers went on a different trajectory, and Nash’s off course antics pushed Bexley out of his life but a racing accident nearly ended Nash’s career, and in the interim, Nash switched teams and cars, and was on the rise, once again. An offer from new team owner Brienne Norcross brought Nash back into the F1 family, and face to face with the woman who broke his heart. Bexley Toliver is Titans Racing’s new chief strategy engineer, and is about to face the reality of women in sports but discovering Titans Racing newest driver is the man she once loved places Brienne in the crosshairs of her misogynistic teammates, and betrayal may come at the cost of her job.
The world building focuses on a woman’s struggle to prove her worth in a male-dominated sport; the rekindling romance between Bexley and Nash, and Nash’s battle to move on from the demons of his past.
The relationship between Bexley and Nash is one of second chances but both are still hurt and in pain from perceived betrayal. Nash is determined to prove he is worthy of a second chance, but Bexley’s struggle as a woman in a male dominated sport is proving harder than she could have ever imagined. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.
The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and dynamic, yet some are questionable and contemptable. We are introduced to several members of the Titans Racing Team, as well as the return of team owner Brienne Norcross.
FORMULA CHANCE is a story of power and control, misogyny and discrimination, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated and spicy; the characters are determined and charismatic.
